Johnny Manziel has a fight set for the UFC’s Meta APEX – but it won’t be in a cage.
The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner, Manziel will box social media influencer Bob Menery, according to social media posts from Adin Ross’ Brand Risk Promotions. The May 23 bout is expected to be an exhibition, though further details are not yet known. The event will stream on YouTube, Kick, and other streaming platforms.

The bout was initially tied to Miami. UFC CEO Dana White had said he’d bet $10,000 that Menery wouldn’t show up for the event, but if he did he’d fly to Miami to watch it. Now, White doesn’t have to. He’s hosting the fight at its home venue.
